I hadn't heard of it either....but I went and googled it. Very interesting informtion. Sounds promising. I didn't have a lot of time to read everything today, so will continue looking and reading in the next few days.

I'm curious....How did you hear about it?

How did I hear about it,lol By spending way too many hours on line searching for that one website, that one page that will flash, Lupus, no problem! Here is the easy answer...
Still searching

I am wondering how long after the stage 111 trials does the FDA approve a new drug. This is the only hope I have come across.

hey me and iseedeadmonkeys had a convo about this the other day...
I then started looking into it at first very hopeful.....

when u look into the company u see that they have had enormous losses until they released the info about lupuzor... then some money started coming in...
so as much as I hate to say this I am thinking that it has had a huge commercial benefit to release the info about the drug....

The % are vague like: "a substantial amount of patients reacted very positive to Lupuzor treatment." what is considered substantial? 1 or 2 or 1000 to vague for my liking...
They only tested on 125(147) people by the way....
and again a substantial amount of these 147 people where showing a noticeable improvement after 12 weeks 50% went on for another 12 weeks of taking the drug..

It says:
Lupuzor is ImmuPharma's lead drug compound for the POTENTIAL TREATMENT of Lupus..

and:
There is currently no cure and existing medications only treat the symptoms whereas ImmuPharma's drug candidate has the POTENTIAL to produce remission of the disease in a substantial proportion of patients.

Potential here and potential there no hard facts anywhere...
even after announcing the lupuzor drug they made losses of £6.2m (30m the year before)

The chairman of the company said in an interview:
"These study results are ENCOURAGING and bring us one step closer to providing the first specific medication for the treatment of lupus to patients living with this chronic, potentially life-threatening disease," said Frank Baldino, Jr., Ph.D., chairman and CEO of Cephalon. "Lupuzor recently received a notice of allowance for its novel composition of matter patent, which will support our development of the product. IF OUR EFFORTS ARE SUCCESSFUL this product and our recent deal with Ception Therapeutics will allow us to build a business unit focused on inflammatory diseases."

anyway not want to sound to pessimistic but I am not sure about this one.... I mean if our efforts are successful? ok then that says it all......
I wonder why they play with peoples emotions like that it shud not be allowed..

The worse the bad times are the more we appreciate the good things in life..

You just saved me the effort of telling what I've read so far about this drug. I basically came up with the same info you did. Sounds like more unsubstantiated claims, backed up by what is frankly, a bunch of B.S. in my opinion. One really has to wonder about the true motives and reasons behind producers of these products, and their claims. Are these products a result of proper research that just didn't pan out, or is it just more snake oil peddlers looking to make a dishonest and shameful dollar off of those desperate for a cure, or something we hope could be a cure. Unfortunately, I suspect the latter.
